🌸 GrowDiaries Update — Week 11 (Week 7 Flower)
Permanent Marker Pheno #1 & #2 — Flower Week 7
Here we are again, my dear growers — week 11 from seed, and what a journey it’s been! Our two beautiful phenos continue to show their individual personalities: Pheno #1, the tall dreamer, still reaching for the moon; and Pheno #2, the compact queen, steady and strong in her deep greens. Both are truly thriving, expressing themselves with grace and power.
🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now
From the very first sprout to now, this grow has been a journey of observation, learning, and connection.
We’ve seen perfect germination, vigorous vegetative growth, stunning branching, and a seamless transition into flower. We’ve tested light, temperature, airflow, and nutrition — keeping everything balanced with the organic Aptus program (Regulator, Top Booster, and CalMag), letting the soil and biology do their magic.
✨ This Week’s Focus — Trichomes, Terpenes & Color Explosion
At week 7 of flower, nature begins to paint.
Trichomes are swelling and clouding — a forest of frost starting to shimmer under the lights. Terpenes are coming alive, with rich, layered aromas filling the room: sweet, pungent, spicy, earthy. You can almost taste what’s to come.
Flavonoids and anthocyanins are starting to express beautifully, especially on Pheno #1, which is showing the first touches of purple hues. Meanwhile, Pheno #2 remains loyal to her deep emerald tones — dense, resinous, and classic.
☀️ A Note on Light & Albino Tops
Our big mama (Pheno #1) is stretching so close to the LED panel that her top is showing a touch of albinism — a bright, pale glow caused by intense light exposure. It’s not a problem; in fact, it adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. These light-stressed tops can sometimes develop special trichome patterns, and it’s fascinating to observe. A gentle reminder that even perfection has its quirks.
🌡️ Garden Conditions
Temperature: High but stable with the AC in control.
Humidity: Balanced despite the season’s challenges.
Airflow: Excellent — a full dance of air and photons.
Health: Exceptional. No bud rot, no major stress, just pure thriving energy.
🌍 Community & Gratitude
The Dognabis Cup is in full bloom! Packages have arrived, diaries are opening, and the community is alive with creativity and inspiration.
Let’s keep sharing, learning, and lifting each other up — because to grow is to share, and to bloom is to connect.
Massive gratitude to our sponsors and supporters:
Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds,the cannakan and TrolMaster — and of course, to GrowDiaries, to the growers, the dreamers, the lovers, and yes, even the haters. You’re all part of the story, and that’s what makes it real. 💚
🌼 What’s Next?
Week 8 ahead — trichomes will turn cloudy, aromas will peak, and the girls will start signaling when they’re ready for their grand finale. We’ll talk harvest timing, resin maturity, and flushing techniques as we approach the end of this beautiful cycle.
Until then — let the garden sing. 🌿
